The 2014 regular season started today … except for the Yankees. Along with the Astros, they are the last team to play their first game this year. One more day. One more day and we’ll have live, meaningful Yankees baseball to enjoy.
The team did workout in Houston this afternoon and there’s only two pieces of non-news to come from that. Joe Girardi confirmed that they lineup they planned to use in Saturday’s game will indeed be the Opening Day lineup, meaning Brett Gardner will bat seventh. Also, Dean Anna and Vidal Nuno will switch to numbers 45 and 57, respectively. Yangervis Solarte is apparently sticking with 89. Your Spring Training jersey is still good!
Here is your open thread for the night. Rockies-Marlins (De La Rosa vs. Fernandez) and Mariners-Angels (Hernandez vs. Weaver) will both be on ESPN2 tonight. As a reminder, the Extra Innings package is in a free preview this week, so you can watch any game. The Devils and Knicks are both playing tonight as well. Talk about anything here.
Spoiler: There won’t be an April Fool’s post this year. It totally slipped my mind and I don’t have time to put one together tonight. I think the novelty has worn off anyway. Besides, nothing will ever top this. It is our Mona Lisa.
